We are honored to have @freddymelts join us from Chicago for a guest class before the 2026 Glass Art Society Conference in Corning begins! Bottles & Vessels Workshop - Hollow Borosilicate on the Torch
This course will revolve around working with hollow borosilicate glass at the torch, specifically with the intention of making bottles and vessels. Techniques covered will include point pulling, blowing/shaping bubbles, flaring a foot, order of operations for successful hollow work, color application, and whatever else we have time for, or people would like to see. All skill levels welcome!
Freddy McClanahan’s Bio:
“My relationship with glass started my sophomore year of high school when I took my first gather out of a furnace. Glass quickly became my primary focus; before school, after school, free periods, and lunch, I would be in the studio practicing. In my junior year, the glass club took a field trip to the Tacoma Museum and Hilltop Middle School, where Dale Chihuly had gone to school and sponsored a glass program. Needless to say, this experience made me even more confident that I wanted to pursue glass as a career. A few years later, I took a class at Pilchuck, which led me down a path to a production job in Chicago, which completely changed my life. I’ve been working in production now for 5 years, mainly focusing on flameworked hollow vessels, but also hot shop production. ”
